How Instant Messaging Can Make Conversations Easier

Whether an office has 10 employees or 1000, it can benefit from a private and secure instant messaging network.

For example, in one of the office environments I’ve worked in, we had an open loft space with tables for desks. Even though there were only 8 of us, we still regularly used instant messaging to communicate. Here are some of the reasons why:

1. Private Conversations: sometimes we ask eachother questions that we don’t want other co-workers to know. On some occasions it’s personal conversations, but it can also be invoice amounts, personal information for payroll, or other confidential company information. If your company is on a private instant messaging network, they don’t have to worry about sharing this information through an IM.
2. To Not Disturb Others: Because we have such an open workspace, we sometimes use instant messaging to talk when others are on the phone. This helps keep the work environment quiet and relaxing.
3. To Share and Collaborate: We occasionally use our instant messenger program to send files, collaborate on the Whiteboard feature, and have video chats with other employees who may be out of the office.

Besides these reasons above, using encrypted instant messaging can provide peace of mind and control over employee communication. The Enterprise version of Brosix Instant Messaging has an administrative panel, where you can view employee actions and moderate how some are able to use the program.
